This book contains essays and columns written in perspective of political instability in Turkey and Egypt. In recent years, Turkey has gone through drastic phases of economic and social development. Currently, it is among the states having strong economies. On the other hand, the Arab Spring resulted in toppling of four decades long military rule in Egypt. While the credit of Turkey's massive development goes to Justice and Development Party, the revolution in Egypt was closely linked to continuous efforts made by the Muslim Brotherhood. This book tries to answers some fundamental questions linked to emerging political and social landscapes in the two countries. For instance, did Justice and Development Party in Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt evolved out of political crises there or are they continuation of an ideological and democratic struggle? What is the reason for a new political crisis taking place in Turkey every couple of months and international media’s propagation of it? How is Turkey easily able to overcome every political crisis, while those fighting for democratization of Egypt fail to do so?
